A generous ground-floor freehold apartment on Scarborough’s Esplanade, this two-bedroom home occupies a wide Victorian terrace with bay-fronted living space and direct sea and coastal views. High ceilings, period cornicing and a large lounge/diner make the apartment feel airy and bright, while the bay window frames the seafront outlook. The property extends to about 1,130 sq ft — unusually spacious for a seafront flat — and includes a single garage at the rear plus unrestricted on-street parking.
Practical details suit a downsizer or someone seeking comfortable seaside living: there are two entrances, built-in storage, a fitted kitchen and a wet-room shower. The building has a communal lift and a grand entrance, though the apartment itself is on the ground floor for easy access. Electric storage heaters provide heating but the property has a D EPC rating and solid-brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, so buyers should factor energy running costs and potential upgrade works.
This location places you within easy walking distance of South Bay Beach, the Spa, Italian Gardens and Scarborough town centre amenities. The apartment’s size and garage also give scope for varied uses — long-term retirement home, lock-and-leave seafront base, or an income-producing holiday let (check local rules). Note the area records above-average crime statistics; prospective purchasers should consider security measures and local policing when viewing.
Overall this is a characterful, spacious seafront flat with strong location appeal and clear improvement potential. It will suit buyers prioritising view, space and convenience to the seafront, but those sensitive to energy costs or seeking fully modernised fabric should budget for insulation and heating upgrades.
